Small Space Living - Going Up

We're a homeschooling family and lovers of books. We have hundreds of new books coming into our house each year. This can get difficult in a small space. There are two main solutions for a glut of books -

But, I still have so many books. One of the best things we've done is to put bookshelves above all the doors in our hallway. We are able to store tons of books this way . . . and I think they look nice, too. Also, by putting them in a hallway, they really do not affect your decor or clutter up your rooms.

We've added several more books since this picture was taken. We now have shelves over each doorway (maybe I can get a newer picture on later!).
